APOLOGY TO LOYAL READERS

I apologize for no posts recently when there is so much for us to discuss. I have been with my ill daughter for a couple of weeks and have given her priority.

Much is happening with our critical national condition. Government is dysfunctional in Washington as Obama "governs" (an overstatement) without Congress (even in contempt the "equal" branch). And, the Republicans are demonstrating a high degree of irresponsibility in debates as what will be the dirtiest, most dishonest and expensive election campaign in history has begun.

If the Republicans continue to destroy each other with utterly stupid debates that play right into Obama's strategy, Obama will be reelected. I am dismayed....no I'm totally disgusted with the candidates.

Obama's reelection will be the end of "traditional America" and the beginning of control by an Imperialist president. Oh, I almost forgot, he has already started by ignoring Congress.

"Trying to persuade a prejudiced mind is as Sisyphean as trying to open a closed mind is Quixotic." Mann, May 2012 In
a blog post herein below on May 1, 2013, I outlined what we who
manage people and enterprises know as absolutes about performances of
people who are put into management and supervisory positions for
which they haven't requisite qualifications. For those who have
progressed through several jobs to their level of incompetence, this
is known as the Peter Principle as defined by Laurence J. Peter. In
all likelihood, all who have managed people for any length of time
have seen this principle played out. While Peter's observation
applies to progression through multiple job levels, if a person is
put into any job for which he is unqualified, the concept is also
valid. Elective political positions is where I see this most often
played out. The
election of Barack Obama as President of the United States is the
most significant example of this in my lifetime. I w…

I apologize for the structure of the post below, with no segmentation, but the system refuses to do it my way. To my post yesterday re AMR's chapter 11 filing relating my experiences over many years flying with AA, an AA pilot wrote a thoughtful comment that caused me to think a bit more about the precursors to conditions of their bankruptcy. Frankly, I have what is perhaps too much experience with trade unions and their excesses, but know less about others such as the airlines. After learning more about the negotiations of AA with their unions, I now think it's justifiable to post the comments below. I've seen too many industries destroyed by union excesses coupled with management incompetence in caving to excess demands. Start with coal (dead for many years), steel, textiles, shoes, electronics manufacturing, and more. The Detroit 3 (once the big 3) deserves special mention. As their costs rose to $72/hour (fully loaded) and costs in the southern industry …
